Timothée Chalamet is kicking off the holiday season with Wonka. The Candy Man’s origins is not the only recent land of pure imagination for the young actor as he also navigates the sandy terrains in Dune Part Two early next year. And while Chalamet has built quite a start to his blockbuster franchise resume, he started to gain acclaim in dramas including Lady Bird and Little Women, which were written and directed by Greta Gerwig. Gerwig would of course have a big year with the meta-comedy Barbie.
According to Variety, Chalamet was promoting Wonka on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he revealed that he was originally approached to make a cameo appearance in Barbie, but it wouldn’t work out due to his schedule. Chalamet explained, “There was an idea for Saoirse Ronan and I to do a cameo in it. I don’t know what the cameo would’ve been.

Timothée Chalamet may be starring in big-budget movies like Dune: Part Two and Wonka these days, but it wasn’t all that long ago that he was giving it his all on the high-school stage. Videos of a teenage Timothée Chalamet, or should I say Lil’ Timmy Tim, have been circulating for years on YouTube with millions of views. Wonka director Paul King was well aware of these videos and told Rolling Stone that they played a part in Chalamet landing the leading role.
Paul King said that Timothée Chalamet didn’t even have to audition for Wonka. “It was a straight offer because he’s great and he was the only person in my mind who could do it,” King said. “But because he’s Timothée Chalamet and his life is so absurd, his high school musical performances are on YouTube and have hundreds of thousands of views. So...

Shuffle and Stories is an attempt to get a more personal look on why we feel the way we do about music. Music is like art, subjective, and that means that everyone has a different way at looking at one album or band. Every week I’ll pick from one of ten songs when my library is on shuffle and talk about the music but also talk about why I personally like it or tell any personal stories regarding the music.
Oh man that is a pretty killer list as far as great bands (Xtc, Sad Lovers and Giants, Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins) but there is one band that outshines all of them combined; Scooter.
Scooter is bar none the silliest band out there. Almost all their songs heavily rely on samples or inspiration from other riffs, they’ve been notorious with their use of high pitch-shifted vocals, their melodies...
